I'm looking to purchase my first car and was interested in an automatic 2008 Lexus RX 350. It has just under 104,000 kms and was traded in to a Toyota dealership. It has all the specifications I was looking for (4WD, nav system, leather interior, sunroof etc.) and is going for just under $14,000 CAD. I've been watching as many of your videos as possible to go into the road test equipped but since this is all new to me and being a female, I would like to make sure this is reasonably priced considering the age/mileage. Also, are there any chronic issues with this year/make? Thank you!
Regarding issues see below: another member can chime in on price since that is not my forte

Be sure to have an independent mechanic check it out and give the OK before buying any vehicle. Otherwise, see below for what to look for during an inspection:

Price is too much, negotiate to around 10 grand and then have a mechanic check it out. The only issue I know of according to another member is that the dashboard can melt/crack in hot temperatures but I assume you are up north so that shouldn't be an issue, but no harm in checking. Here's Scotty's on the RX:

Thank you for the tips!
They are excellent Cars. If you are paying cash, you can negotiate the price a lot.
It is expensive, but it is still an excellent car if that was what you were asking. It has a nice and powerful 270bhp engine.
